Whose line is it anyway?
Your challenge is to say something about the objects, improvise with them, or both.
You have 1 minute to think and 5 minutes to respond. You may ask the judges questions once time begins; however, time will continue. You are not allowed to talk to each other at any time.
There are 35 items and two containers on the table. With each response, you will place one of the items in a container (point to container).
Speak loudly and clearly. Once time begins, it will not be stopped. You should not repeat a response that has already been given. You may respond as often as you wish, and in any order, but must place an item in a container with each response you give. You will be finished when response time ends or when you have used all of the items.
Each of you has a group of objects (point). You can use them in any way, but you cannot share them.
Your challenge is to say something about the objects, improvise with them, or both.
For example, you might pick up cotton balls and say, “It’s a pair of eyeballs”; or one cotton ball and the yarn and say, “A snowman with a scarf.”
Setup:
Place two containers and spread 35 items randomly on the table within reach of all team members. Make sure team members surrender an item with each response. These items may be poker chips, coins, tokens, etc.
Place 2 pieces of yarn (12”, different colors), 3 cotton balls, and one paper plate for each team member on the table.
Be sure to give exactly 1 minute to think and 5 minutes to respond. Timing is critical. Team members responding as time ends may finish their response and be scored.
Scoring:
You will receive 1 point for each common response and 5 points for each creative response.
Debrief:
Have the team video themselves.
Did the team use the items creatively or follow along with their usual associations?
Did people spark responses from hearing other teamm members?
Is using multiple items associated with more creative responses
